I love my Iron 1200 and bought it over all the other Harleys in their lineup. It’s a really fun bike. I’m not riding the highway with it but mostly back country roads that twist and turn. It’s a perfect “retro” bike for that kind of riding and still retains the Harley character.

This past summer I was in Buffalo in a torrential downpour, two-up on a road glide ultra packed from a trip out west. Attempting to go to the Olive Garden for dinner, had to cross something like 5 lanes of traffic to get to the Olive Garden and damn near got killed. A sporty would have zipped right across.....you being from Buffalo, I understand why you are considering the sporty.

No not at all mate. As they say, "whatever floats ur boat".
FWIW, I ride in the city a lot and I have a baggers.
When I was in Boston, downtown Boston at that, I was thinking, would I rather have a smaller bike and immediately I thought no. Not at all.
I really think JerLewis, it is whatever makes u happy. To me, a bigger bike, NICER RIDE, more capacity to put stuff was important.
Will them there folks see me better on a bigger bike? Maybe. That would only be a bonus.

I say go for it. They still haven't made one bike that can do it all. I have three different bikes (different brands) because different bikes have different riding characteristics and excel in areas that others dont. There is more than one style of riding too.
